[MountainPeak]

52, been divorced for over 10 years. Safety Inspector at a nuclear facility. I like warm baths, long walks and......sheese, I'm getting carried away!

 

[anapex]

Well I'm 24 almost 25, working in the Information Assurance field and desperately wanting to find the same job in a more gun friendly state (offers welome ). I also run a side job that employs a certain beautiful domestic engineer. I'm on a once every time I can convince the wife plan (which is getting easier ).

 

[P95Carry]

Holeee ....... *&%+* ....... don't these sorta threads grow fast! Yep .. always good once in a while. Guess I've done some of this b4!!

Ok so ...... ''I'm Chris, and am a gunaholic''!!!!!!

58 ... far nearer 59 than is comfortable. On paper ''Degree Systems Engineer'' ... in practice self-employed and work on web oriented stuff, data conversion etc ... thus somewhat glued to the infernal puter. But do manage time off pretty much when it suits .. when I can swing it!

Ex pat Brit .... married, 2nd time round ... and very happy with it .. 2 kids of my own, daughter 28 and son 26 ... he is not far away from me .... we are shooting tomorrow ! Also step daughter 18 and step son 16 (almost). Mental cat ... geriatric dog ...... oh and step daughter has a damned ferret!

In some ways like to think semi-retired ...... sold up a lot three years ago and have sunk far too much into the gun collection but balanced that by much work on house too. Live a simple life really.

Love reloading ... done that for 23 or more years .. but hard to make the time for as much as I'd like.

Keep thinking I have ''enough'' guns but . hell ... there is ALWAYS something else creeps onto the list!:banghead:



Oh - biker dude also ... Honda VTX1300-C4

Joined the Navy in 1987 as an aircraft mechanic and got out in 1997 and became a civilian aircraft mechanic and private pilot, only need a check ride for my instrument rating.

I make a decent income and have managed to buy a few guns, I've traded many guns for the new fangled whatever. I'm not a collector, I just keep certain guns that fill certain niches.

Grew up on the eastern shore of Maryland, stationed in VA, CA and DC, moved back to the eastern shore then to MT for 15 months and now reside in my wife's hometown of Memphis, TN.

I have no pets, rent an apartment in east Memphis and drive a blue '98 ext. cab Z71, my wife drives a silver '96 4dr 4X4 Jimmy.

Veterinarian. Looking at my paycheck, you'd think I make a fair amount, but I still have tons of school debt. Vet School ain't cheap, especially the one I went to (U of PENN).

Lots of pets (go figure).

Wife is an Artist, staying at home with the Boys right now.

Recently got my MA machine gun license, so I'm in BIG trouble now. Good thing we just got a home equity loan!

[Ringer]

43 here.

Married (happily) 17 years, two teenage daughters (3 wives $$$ )

HFC Network Engineer for a large telecomunications company. Make a decent salary but nothing astronomical, wife works full time as well.

Don't really have any other hobbies or spend money on much of anything else, on me personally I mean, most goes to family stuff. Squirrel away whatever I can out of each check and spend it as I see fit. Was lucky enough to buy several guns this year, along with a new belt and holster, a knife, several flashligts, lots of ammo and a few other accessories. Wow, guess I did spend alot this year, but that is not quite the norm.

20, student (recently changed from engineering to tech), single. Most recent new gun was 3 or 4 months ago...I won't be getting more in the forseeable future, as what I have now is quite sufficient for my current situation. Everything I own can fit in my Subaru (unlike Skunk, I don't have a mattress or gunsafe).

 

[Ant Mod]

23, accountant on my way to a CPA certificate. About half of my income is disposable so I have no problems. I have no problems except that I am cheap and watch my money to closely. I have the worst buyers regret of anyone you will ever meet.
